more roll cage Qs

[miguelitojeep97]

I know a lot of you go with custom roll cages and it seems thats the way to go. I like a somewhat simple design that goes thorugh the dash, spreaders and dash bar and something for the back. i also know a lot of you get Rock-it-man to install them for you. im in Ventura so cal and am looking for any shops near by that can do some cage work for me. hell if the price is right ill go to rock-it-man also. any info would be great. thanks

nice i like that cage a lot. simple yet very tough. i would also like a bar that goes across the back sport cage too. Seems like a simple job. hope i can find someone with a good price close by.


if i only had a weldin' friend....

The cage is great, I love it for the reasons you stated. You can get more options, at least I think. We tried to mess up the CJ one we have, and couldn't. It's definitely tough! Even if you can't get a cage at the price you'd like, the money is worth it. Odds are if you use it, you'll use it closer to home than you think ...

if you want someone who knows what their doing in the ventura area, your best bet would be go to ventura 4x4.....dont know about their prices, but i always see a lot of cool custom stuff in their shop, including cages. they are located at 176 N. olive street (parrallel to the the avenue)
the number there is 805 641 4000 good luck

[miguelitojeep97]

ya i thought of them also. I have only driven by a couple of times. Looks like a run down house, doesnt even look like they have like an office or anything. do you know people that have gotten stuff doen there?

also think i should just do a quick scetch of what i want and show it to them


and i want .175 wall .120 D.O.M tubing right? nothing but?

Ventura 4X4 has done all my work - Rancho lift, coil spacers, SYE, body lift, f/r ARB's, rear axles, gears, bellyup pan. They do excellent work, are very knowledgeable, and stand behind their work. Shop is owned by Ruben Garcia and his wife BilliJo. They can do any kind of custom welding and fabrication.

Good work!! :wrench: :thumbs_up

It might be a good idea to put reinforcing plates where the tubes meet sheet metal. :2: ....or maybe you just haven't got that far yet.
